WW -JJL- 'jJL'' THE JUNIOR EAGLE. BROOKLYN-NEW YORK, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1908. -0 -v JU- mm Jl DO hope, boys and girls, having again taken up your II II I work for the winter, that you will do it conscientiously II uouy a wen. mis means your school work, IfeSJSl II and the work you do for me. Don't spend your time I I and well.

This means your school work. and the work you do for me. Don't spend your time bewailing slowness of appreciation on the part of others; do the best you can, and earnest endeavor will surely win for you the deserved reward. Try to be thorough in everything you do in other words, "stick to your bush." I read a little poem in St. Nicholas ouce, and will reproduce it as ar explanation of what this means "One day, in huckleberry time, when little Johnny Flails And half a dozen other boys were starting with their pails To gather berries, Johnny's pa, in talking with him, said That he could teh him how to pick so he'd come out ahead.

'First, find your said Johnny's pa, 'and then stick to it till You've picked it clean. Let those go chasing all about who will In search of better bushes; but it's picking tells, my son To look at fifty bushes doesn't count like picking And Johnny did as he was told and, sure enough, he found, Hy sticking to his bush while all the others chased around- In search of other picking, 'twas as his father said For, while the others looked, he worked, and soon came out ahead. And Johnny recollected this when he -became a man And first of all he laid him out a well-determined plan; So. while the brilliant triflers failed, with all their brains and push, Wise, steady-going Johnny won by 'sticking to his Now, I hope you will all be like "Johnny" and show that you have the. tenacity to "stick to your bush" until you have entirely cleared it.

Don't dart from one thing to another. If you do you will only have a small knowledge of each, and it will be a waste of valuable fuxe that could be used to good advantage along other lines. If yon can write good stories, don't waste your time drawing pictures that will never find their way into. print, it you draw them for that purpose. Of course, I want you all to try, as theft is' always a chance for improvement, but if you find that your gift is not in this direction, work hard on the task that is.

And do not be discouraged at lack of recognition. Many geniuses have been unrecognized in the height of their creative powers, but they "stuck to their bush" and won out in the end, like wise steady-goiug "Johnny of the poem.
